It only does that if you go over 160 because it has to add in the "message 1 of 2" part. Remember SMS's 160 character limit is imposed by the technology used to actually send the message from the tower itself, and has nothing to do with a limit of the phones. It's part of the extra code space that they have when the tower sends the registration packets to your phone.
